Methodology [edit]. Median age is the age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups-that is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older. It is a single index that summarizes the age distribution of a population. Currently, the median age ranges from a low of about 15 in Uganda to 40 or more in several European countries, Canada and Japan.
The consumer watchdog group Public Citizen has petitioned the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to have Victoza taken off the market because of the drugâs potential to cause pancreatitis and other serious side effects.
VictozaÂ® works in 3 ways like the hormone GLP-1 (7-37)a to help control blood sugar levels. 1  VictozaÂ® slows food leaving your stomach. 2  VictozaÂ® helps prevent your liver from making too much sugar. 3  VictozaÂ® helps the pancreas produce more insulin when your blood sugar levels are high. VictozaÂ® does this by helping important cells work the way they should. These cells are called beta cells and they help control blood sugar by making and releasing insulin.
